 I haven't been doing Poser for very long, but it does seem that many of the models are the same thing.  I have a few in my runtime that I am very happy with and then others that I load from my days of buying so much that I load up and think.. 'Wow, that doesn't look nearly as good here as it did over there.'  

Some of the texturing on clothes I'm baffled by.  It simply doesn't look like the type of cloth an outfit of that type would be made from.  And you have to understand where I'm coming from on that statement.  My mother sewed beautifully for years, made dresses, suits, made my wedding dress and bridesmaids dress and no one knew they were made and not bought.   I also sew some, especially costumes - did some for theater and always made my daughter's Halloween costumes.

I'm very fabric sensitive, I suppose. Some of the prints and textures look like something dragged out of one of my grandmother's trunks, and not in a good way.  They look like that horrid double knit that she used to use for cheap and easy quilts.  Never something I'd wear and not something I'd put on my characters.

added  I am a little confused by some sets that say they are models of ruins, but they have perfect edges, perfect textures.  There are no broken parts, no fallen walls, no rubble, no columns broken in half.  How is that a ruin?  I didn't buy it of course as I found other props that suited my purpose, but it did make me wonder how much research the modeler did. 

On the other hand I've been very happy with other models and clothing sets I've bought.  They really have worked as advertised.
